My Review
This is the author's second book. Her first was Double Jeopardy. The author's knowledge of the criminal justice system does give her a good advantage in her books. I could tell instantly that this book was way better and that the author was starting to really find her stride. I connected with the characters on a better level and thus was intrigued in their story.

Wow, I would not want to mess with Kara. She is one determined and conniving woman. Of course though Mark deserved everything that he had coming to him. He was slimy and not a very good "player of women" in my opinion. While the story was predictable, it was still good. My only other complaint would be the new love interest for Kara. I did not really feel like Kara needed to have the love interest for the last half of the story or for it to end on a good ending. I do look forward to what this author has to bring with her next book.

My Review

I enjoyed this book. William Wisting is a good main character. In regards to his daughter and him working together, it was a little hard to gauge how well they do work together as Line was trying to help protect her friend by withholding details about the case. However, back to William. He seems like a nice guy. Plus, he is a good detective.

The story was fine and the characters were alright. What I mean by this is that I did no…
